(K, TA. [See also مُقَعَّبٌ.]) ― -b2- And التَّقْعِيبُ signifies تَقْعِيرُ الكَلَامِ; (K;) or تَقْعِيبُ الكَلَامِ signifies تَقْعِيرُهُ; (S, O;) [or التَّقْعِيبُ فِى الكَلَامِ signifies التَّقْعِيرُ فِيهِ, i. e.

(L, TA.) Q. Q. 3 اِقْعَنْبَى ذ He put his hands upon the ground, and sat in such a posture as to be ready to rise. (TA in art. قعنب, from a trad.) قَعْبٌ ذ A deep wooden drinking-cup or bowl: (S, O:) or a large vessel like the [bowl called] قَصْعَة: (Msb:) or a large, rude, drinking-cup or bowl: (A, K:) or one inclining more nearly to be small: (A, K: *) to which a solid hoof is likened: (TA:) or such as satisfies the thirst of a man: (A, K:) accord. to IAar, the first [or smallest] of drinkingcups or bowls is that called the غُمَر, which does not hold enough to satisfy [a man's] thirst: next is the قَعْب, which is [a cup] large enough to satisfy the thirst of a man; and sometimes it satisfies the thirst of two men, and three: and then, the عُسّ: (TA:) the pl. is قِعَبَةٌ (S, O, K) and (K) قِعَابٌ and أَقْعُبٌ, (Msb, K,) the last a pl. of paucity.

(TA.) ― -b3- And in the T, in art. قنع, the phrase قِعَابُ الأَوْرَاقِ is expl. as meaning أَقْتَآءٌ بِيضُ الأَسْنَانِ [app. for البِيضُ الأَسْنَانِ مِنَ الأَفْتَآءِ i. e. The white in respect of the teeth, of the young; for الاوراق seems to be here used in a sense assigned to its sing., الوَرَقُ, namely, الأَحْدَاثُ, pl. of الحَدَثُ, which is syn. with الفَتِىُّ, of which الأَفْتَآءُ is pl.: but for this usage of قِعَاب I am unable to account: I incline to think it a mistranscription, though I do not know any word resembling it for which it may have been substituted].
